Yes, all factors. I suspect they’re perfectly happy with the set-up they have. From my long ago Athens experience, the eat-as-you-are approach mirrors what happens with similar street food there. As well, there could be space and/or zoning issues.

I live within a few seconds walk to the Brother Hood and am looking forward to checking it out for dinner soon. I imagine The Brother Hood are banking on most of their customers being take away or delivery using Uber Eats or Deliveroo so hopefully rubbish or people on the street wouldn’t be a issue. I am actually looking forward to more activity around Buckley St – bit of a dead zone atm especially walking home late at night from Middle Footscray train station. The old canvas blinds shop on the corner is tipped to be a pizza tavern. Plus 2 new shops for lease at the Buckley Apartments. Bring on more development on Buckley St!
